As real estate professionals look to become brokers, they need to learn to become more effective managers, leaders, and communicators.

Dearborn has the real estate books and courses to help you succeed.

Adopting our broker products will give your students an edge in the marketplace and help advance their careers. Available in both print and electronic formats, our broker titles cover national and state-specific content, as well as provide students with the tools they need to establish and manage a successful real estate brokerage.

These areas are hot opportunities for growth as real estate professionals look to the next step in their careers. Whether your school is just starting out in these areas or already has a developed program, we have the titles you need to attract interested students and expand your business into these fields.

Appraisal Curricula
Our appraisal products include prelicensing for the basic, AQB trainee level, which is the foundation for all AQB certification requirements.

Commercial Real Estate Curricula
Our commercial real estate titles benefit both beginning professionals who want an introduction to this side of the industry and licensees looking to move into the commercial market. Designed to be flexible and adapt to any use, from specialized training to meeting CE requirements, these courses offer yet another option to help your school retain students and remain competitive.

Home Inspection Curricula
Used by many of the top training schools nationwide, our home inspection titles attract new students and help boost revenue in today’s competitive market. As more states adopt home inspection education legislation every year, there is an increasing demand for top-quality, affordable home inspection courses.

College and University

Dearborn offers an assortment of college-level textbooks to support your existing real estate curriculum or to incorporate into a new program. Our college and university texts are written by professional higher-education instructors who are experienced in the real estate industry. These texts are designed to accommodate semester-length classes, and the supporting Instructor Resources offer direction on incorporating all or parts of the content into an existing course.

An assortment of titles are also available in eBook format via Follett’s CafeScribe, a digital textbook classroom that allows students and instructors to interact within the text, sharing notes and insights.
